joberg 2c Day 1 n 2

after a hick up with the taxis not arrivi g to take us to the startline, luckily hotel manager jumped in to save the day. Tufty grass is a no-no and very difficult to ride. About 24km of it. Tough Day 1 but made cut off. Highlight was dragon boat crossing of Vaal dam,Day 2. Started with rai and icey cold. Rain stopped later but stayed cloudyand cold. Highlight was the farmers giving put coffee at waterpoint and washing our bikes and lubing it. Fantastic! Long day in the saddle bit madw cut off time. Had a glass of wine and feeling a lot better........I know where my arse is.......

About Me

Cycling is a passion, but fun, meeting friends and keeping them. Love the Argus cycle tour. This year was nr 17. The Baviaans mountain bike Marathon an absolute favourite! 230km in 24hrs-from Willowmore to Jeffreys bay. This year would be nr 9 for me and would love to do one more to get to nr 10! Done the Joberg2c and the Freedom Challenge in 2010. What a fantastic experience. A must do for those who wants to see what they are made of. Freedom Challenge nr.2 in June 2012 was a bit of a disaster where my bike packed up due to mud and I had to withdraw. It taught me how to not finish and live with it. Want to do the Dessert Dash in Namibia, a definite must do on my bucket list. The Trans Draak 24hr absolutely awesome. I have completed two and is so what I like to do. Almost done a full Cape Epic. Jozi2kozi a must do for anyone wanting to get away from the groomed tracks and trails. Arriving in Kosi Bay riding as one bunch was abolutely a winner. Riding The X Mountain biking Expedition in the Eastern Cape in September I'm sure will be a highlight of the year. 36one seems to be on the cards for next year. Keep riding, having fun
